The forest eats the girls who wander out after dark . . . An atmospheric dark fantasy rooted in fairytales, folklore, and sapphic romance. The Maiden and Her Monster by Maddie Martinez is perfect for fans of Katherine Arden, Ava Reid, and Naomi Novik. As the healer’s daughter, Malka has seen how the forest's curse has plagued her village. But the Ozmini Church only comes to collect its tithe, not to listen to heretics w ith false tales of monsters. So w hen a clergy girl w anders too close to the w oods and Malka’s mother is accused of her murder, Malka strikes an impossible bargain w ith a zealot Ozmini priest. If she brings him the monster, he w ill spare her mother from execution. When she ventures into the blood-soaked w oods, Malka finds a monster, though not the one she expects: an inscrutable, disgraced golem w ho agrees to implicate herself, but only after Malka helps her fulfil an ancient promise by freeing the imprisoned rabbi w ho created her. But a deal easily made is not easily kept. And as their bargain begins to unravel a much more sinister threat, protecting her people may force Malka to endanger the one person she left home to save – and face her grow ing feelings for the very creature she w as taught to fear.
